if you struggle to find one, have a look for rod pod cases, its for fishing but most are well padded and have pockets so you could carry both items. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fishing-Bag-3 ... 2074659863 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NASH-Tackle-r ... 51d4144960...

another way to use windows progs instead of using wine is to install virtualbox, you can install windows inside that, or any other o/s.

we used to use old dirty caustic soda to darken up pine, then varnish or wax it

monkeybiter have you tried out kodi media centre on linux, you can stream the latest tv/movies and watch u.s tv series before we get them over here. if you do try it, install the fusion repository and the hubwizard addon.

it should give you the option to partition the drive on install so you can install it to that partition and then you choose which system to boot at the grub boot menu? if it doesnt, i seem to remember one o/s i tried didnt, then just install a partition manager on windows and create a partition...

ive never had a problem with lmde= debian edition, i think 17.2 is based on ubuntu, which desktop version did you go for?

it could just be a bug if you tried re-starting ff after the install? did you try enabling it from the right click menu or selecting the language? http://www.technipages.com/firefox-enab ... ll-checker i think ff is fine, much better than i.e although im using it for linux

id just fold up some sandpaper and use that to do the edges and use your thumb/finger placement on the sandpaper to stop it touching the glass. the best tool ive used for puttying, i got shown it by a old boy, is a 5" bit of copper pipe with the end flattened and slightly bent with a hammer lol...

i had kind of the same problem as Pete, there was a cross on the input to stop chunks of wood hitting the impeller but there was a finer grill on the output hole which clogged when using my planer. when i opened it up to check it, it had 2" of shavings jammed solid inside. since making a thien...

yea i think they do 50mm, that one is silverline, im not keen on that brand everything ive personally bought that was silverline was pretty much junk. with aldi stuff id expect to pay twice the price for the same quality elsewhere, but then its only 20 quid so possibly worth a go.

i bought some cheap ali sash clamps from screwfix, as mentioned they can jam so its best to watch the clamp and make sure its not pivoted. paul sellers uses them alot and wedges wood down inside them to make them stronger although i havnt done that yet aslong as your not trying to force wide...

ive got a aldi one as well, had it about a year and its been brilliant for brads,it has jammed a fair few times with staples but ive read thats pretty common for most of the combi ones? i dont use it much but its handy when its needed , especially for the price

id say you need a handplane or two whichever way you go. im not sure how much you are looking to spend? but i picked up a woodstar pt85 secondhand planer/thicknesser for 150. so if you can stretch to that and another 20 you could pickup a second hand no4 bailey.

typical i bought a angle finder last week for 15 lol i quite like the aldi titanium bit set they had for sale last week

i just like the finer cut and finish, i think the extra length of the handle aids keeping the cut straight. il have to have a bit of a practice with the irwin, im not bothered by looks as long as i can use it.
